Importing Teams
The Import Team feature allows you to import a team and all of
its players from one DMB database into another plus that team's
park and era if you choose. Copies of these items are added to your
active database, leaving the source database as it was. In other
words, importing a team does not remove that team from the source
database.
To import a team:
1. Click View on
the DMB menu bar.
2. Select Organizer.
3. Click on the tab labeled
Team at the bottom of
the window.
4. Click the button labeled
Import at the top of
the tab. The following window will appear:
5. Use the pull down list at the top of this
window to select the Database
containing the team you wish to import. When you
choose a database, the Teams
list box displays the teams in that
database.
6. Select the team you wish to
import.
NOTE:
Because the transfer of a team is a complex process that involves
moving its players, manager profile, and (optionally) its park and
era, you can only import one team at a time.
7. Optionally, use the checkboxes at the
bottom of the window to import the park and era that the team is associated
with in the source database.
NOTE:
In a DMB database, the era is not linked directly to a team. It is
assigned to a league and all teams contained in that league.
Therefore, for example, if you import the 1975 Boston team and its
associated era into a database, you will only import the 1975 A era
if it is assigned to the league in the source database that
contains the 1975 Boston team. If you were importing the 1975
Boston team from one of our All-time Greatest Teams collections,
you would import the Neutral era or whatever era happened to be
assigned to this league made up of teams from different
years.
8. Click
OK. The team (and park
and era, if selected) will be copied to the active
database.
